Nov 23rd 2005Rottnest Island Word has it the contestants began arriving at 3am with instructions to go to the top of the main lighthouse for their next clue.There was a flurry of activity at the bike hire shop - where employees had also been silenced - and lots of running around Rotto streets, said onlookers.The Rottnest Tearooms were charged with feeding the hungry visitors lunch, serving up biscuits, drinks and meat and salad rolls. "It was pretty exciting", a tearoom spy said. "One of them ran around the back and asked our head chef where Fremantle Prison was."Being shrewd, IC figured this must be the nest destinationand called the prison for the lowdown. It too had been gagged but Monday's public notices seem to confirm the story - a small item declared the prison would be closed on Wednesday for filming. this thread

Nov 24th & 25th "The Amazing Race teams were rushed through Darwin airport to SkyCity hotel casino on Thursday night and yesterday morning they are believed to have filmed scenes at Darwin's Crocodylus Park before being whisked to a secret location."link

more, posted on 11/ 26 This mornings papers up here in Darwin said that the latest series of TAR was being filmed here. Contestants arrived Thurs night and rushed through the airport then yesterday they filmed at the Crocodile Park (all they do there is feed the snapping handbags and have animals on display so I guess there is a challenge to feed them (usually a chicken on a string off a pole). After this the paper said the contestants were then rushed off to another secret location. If they arrived late Thur night then they have either flown in from somewhere in asia or Melb or Syd (only international flights come in from Brunei, Indonesia or Singapore).this thread

article post Nov 29th DID we see contestants from The Amazing Race in Adelaide?

Onlookers at Adelaide Airport on Sunday wondered what all the fuss was about when a desperate-looking couple attempted to book a capacity Singapore Airlines flight. They also happened to be young, good-looking Americans carrying only backpacks, with a TV crew filming their every move. They had boarding passes for a flight to Sydney, and after being told the Singapore Airlines flight was full, they ran back to the domestic terminal (bet they're wishing the new terminal was in operation).this thread

posted on 12/2/05 9:08 pm Giantsfan22 Okay, I have lurked on this board for a few years and this is my first attempt at a spoiler.My brother in law works for Alaska Airlines in Anchorage, and about half an hour ago he saw 2 guys go running through the airport with a camera guy and a sound guy following them. The only description I could get out of him was that they were 2 dudes dressed alike in matching gray sweaters and blue Adidas shoes, mid 20's, and they were looking for Northwest Airlines. They spoke to a native Alaska woman in her 50's who also works there and said they were headed to Denver. They went first to Northwest counter, then Continental, then back to Alaska Airlines.

I did some detective work and called Red Rocks. I should not have bothered, the Red Rocks Online website practicly gives it away and the gal I talked to paused when I mentioned TAR by name. Then just repeated it was closed for a "private function" from 6am to noon.

From the web site.

Amphitheatre to be Closed this Saturday

Due to a private function, the Amphitheatre and Visitor Center will be closed to the public this Saturday morning, December 3, 2005. The Amphitheatre will reopen at approximately Noon. We apologize for any inconvenience.

My Dad's an idiot.As a lot of you know, my Dad's a producer for the Amazing Race, and he owns a risk management company for the entertainment industry.

He also served for 18 years in UK Special Forces. He worked for a number of years in Intelligence Analysis and Information Security, advising senior military and political figures. He's also got an MBE and three Emmy Awards for his work in the Race.

People say he's a genius. But I beg to differ. When my Dad and I are out together, he's a complete random idiot. I often end up punching him in the arm to shut him up, but he gets great joy in attempting to wind me up. So, I caught him on tape.

This was posted on Sucks. It looks like the Race started in Denver yesterday . Can anyone postsa picture of the photo in the Denver Post?

There's a picture on pg 3B from today's Denver Post of AR filming at DIA. The caption reads:Mystery Marathoners: CBS cameramen for "The Amazing Race" film two race participants Monday as they pass through Denver International Airport. The ningth installment of the reality TV show, which pits teams in an around-the-world race, starts in Colorado and is expected to air in the spring.

The picture shows the backs of two people with backpacks walking towards a camerman and a photographer. I was not able to find the picture or the caption on the Post website this morning.

I just tried to post, but it disappeared somehow, so if this double posts, I apologize in advance!

Anyway...the Denver Post had a picture and caption in the Denver and the West section today showing a CBS crew filming (the backs of) two female racers yesterday in the Denver airport. The caption really didn't say much other than that CBS was currently filming the ninth version of The Amazing Race. I tried to find it online, but looks like it was only in the print version.

If the Finale for TAR9 is set up to end during May sweeps, could we assume that would either May 23 or May 30?

There are 4 Tuesdays each in March and April and 5 Tuesdays in May. Based on 13 legs - TAR9 would have to start on Mar 14 since the Finale is 2 legs. However, since there is sometimes a two-leg episode during most seasons, it could start Mar 21.

Well, the DIA photo is there somewhere: on the right side of the Denver Post page there's a link to the electronic edition. The article is listed under a 7-day search but you have to subscribe to view it. Maybe there's a library or Borders or something that carries the Post.

Due to bad weather, the Denver Post is allowing free access to the electronic edition; so here, courtesy of photographer Glenn Asakawa, is DIA. Matching sweats, sneakers and backpacks--probably a female team (judging by the butt logos). If Puddin or anybody else wants to put their people skills to work, it's time to make a run at the permit office.

I almost forgot--here's the caption:CBS cameramen for “The Amazing Race” film two race participants Monday as they pass through Denver International Airport. The ninth installment of the reality TV show, which pits teams in an around-the-world race, starts in Colorado and is expected to air in the spring.So for those checking flights or creating a timeline, start with 07 Nov.

:t-up: No problem with the wm, Puddin.As far as the bagtag goes, I'll stick with 2. (Not that it matters much; I've never found a correlation between a team's number and what happens on the race. I think it's just a logistics thing--keeping the gear organized, etc.)There's some writing on both their sleeves but I can't make it out. Considering the love-butt label, it's probably a personal slogan rather than some designer logo.
